International sales stand at €51.8 million for the fiscal year, or approximately 35% of total turnover, comprised mainly of deliveries of the film Anna to Lionsgate, of Taxi 5, as well as first international deliveries of the film Kursk and significant overages collected on films from the catalogue (notably Lucy and Taken 3).
Theatrical distribution revenue in France and the United States is €6.8 million for FY 2018/2019, or around 5% of total revenue, against €39.6 million in 2017/2018. The decrease is due to the high sales in 2017/2018 following the release in France and the US of Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.
This revenue corresponds in 2018/2019 to the sales made in French theaters of the following films:
- Taxi 5, released in April 2018 : 3.7 million admissions;
- I Feel Better, released in May 2018 : 146 thousand admissions;
- Renegades, released in August 2018 : 51 thousand admissions;
- Kursk, released in November 2018 : 123 thousand admissions;
The Video & VOD segment in France and the United States represents around 9% of the annual revenue, coming in at €14 million, versus €33.6 million in 2017/2018. This turnover includes video and VOD sales realized in the US, in particular for Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (though less significant than during the previous financial year), and sales for Taxi 5 in France.
Television & SVOD sales in France and the United States stand at €31.2 million, or 21% of total turnover, versus €38.5 million for last financial year. This turnover was mainly driven by the French market and corresponds essentially to the opening of broadcasting rights windows for Taxi 5 and for films from the catalogue such as Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, Coexist, Lucy and Taken 3.
Subsidies generated during FY 2018/2019 stand at €3.1 million (versus €4.4 million over the last financial year).
Revenue for the TV Series activity rises by 8% to €24.4 million for FY 2018/2019, or 16% of total turnover. It corresponds to the delivery to NBC of the last 6 episodes from the second season of the international series Taken, as well as the international sales of this same series.
The Other item corresponds mainly to post-production, licenses, partnerships, events and coproduction / line production receipts. It has recorded revenue of €17.4 million versus €6 million for the previous financial year (excluding discontinued operations). The growth is due to the coproduction receipts for the film Taxi 5 and those of line production for Kursk.
Outlook

- Reinforce company's financial strength and restructure debts: within this scope the Company announced on May 13 2019 the opening of a safeguard proceeding to negotiate the terms of a financial stabilization of the company;
